One day born a king
A young man with a heart of gold

This golden heart he forgot to bring
For his soul was sold

A mistress with a heart so cold
Did take this little heart of his to sing

On a day he was feeling oh so bold
He did all but fall and she smiled and laughed and held his hand the poor thing

She left not soon after with a treasure on her string
a heart dangles as it rests among the others as they rot and mold

The mistress passes and and so does her fling
but this heart it remains solid and enduring as it is only pure gold

I know this might just sound a little crazy, but I been thinking about you a hell of a lot lately.

I have a lot to learn
Of your love
Still no matter where I go
At the end of every road
I just hope I'm led back to you
Where the warmth of the sun
Settles on my face
And when I open my eyes
You are what I see

And the saddest thing of all
Is what we’ll learn from today
Shall be the losses of yesterday
Thus we’ll begin again tomorrow
Knee deep in the black mass
As the waves sing us to sleep
Where the crashes of the ocean
Caress the folds of our desires
And the thunder lit sky
Tucks us into sleep

Sometimes I think I'm bound for losing it all
I read you attract what you're ready for
So, I hope to god you're okay with running
Cause I'm living this life just in the moment

So, let's do this all or nothing
If you stay or if you go is a scary thing
A day with no ending is what this is like
You know, we may be pretending, but we still have tonight

I'm no hero, and I'm definitely no saint
There's too many ways to say goodbye
It's quite the opposite this time
All I know is this just has to last forever

One step back and two steps forward
Pretty girl, I just hope you know we're making history
And, sometimes you just can't help but say
That this is just the life you ordered
I just want to be able to say I faced this fear on my own
It's a lot easier knowing, I'll never be left alone

She asked what it would be like to grow old?
I guess I hadn't really thought about it
A little bittersweet
Like the green apples that matched your eyes
How exciting that the moments we shared
Would be all our own
Just you and I's
And we eat our apples different ways
You like yours peeled with a little bit of caramel
I like mine with a little crunch and straight to the core
I guess life's a little like that
It's whatever we chose for it to be right?
How terrifying that were stuck with what we have
I guess that's the most exciting part
Never knowing what we'll get to choose
I just hope it taste a lot like apples
Maybe a hint of you too

I find myself there
At the coast
In depth with dreams
Before the first light
When the blue waters
Are still swayed black and calm
Stuck in limbo
How homely it is at the edge
Yet, always a feeling of missing
It’s the catch of her hips
The fire in her lips
The searing of her breath
All materialistic things in grand scheme
For her mind is what I crave
The honey suckled words she sings
She is limbo
And I find myself drifting there
Unable to leave or wanting
I think I’ll take a swim
In the black mass
Let it swallow me whole

Can I burn my lips on your skin babe?
Can I char my tongue on your back babe?
Can I cauterize my wounds on your heart babe?
Can I blind my eyes on your blaze babe?
Or is it all too much to ask for...
We'll just leave it to the orignal
Can I put my lips on your skin babe?

It’s always funny
Going through the motions
And you said you were feelin’ high
That’s a little how I feel
With just your lips on mine
And tonight we’re both a little drunk
Slow dancing in flames
Just you and I
Except this time I don’t want to just be another one of your lovers

It flies overhead as though by magic
Knowing I'm under the same sky as you
It's paints the night with a touch of wonder
You speak and I swing between hope and despair
Keeping time to the melody in my heart
What do people call this feeling?
Something so rare...it must have a name
Maybe they call it being in love

Watching her watch herself in the mirror
Realizing she's finally seeing someone
That's worthy of the love
That she spent on others unworthy
Indecisions, indecisions
Always chasing something different
I, I'm indifferent so indifferent
Can't keep up with all these niches
At least we're coming closer with these O's and X's

So, there we were
Lost somewhere in where we wanted to be
And, where we seemed to be
Drowning in everything inbetween
Looking somewhere deep in my dreams
And societies lies are getting to me
For all we’ve ever craved is to be free
Daydreamers searching for destinies
While my sins are catching up to me
Thinking of memories
We’ll get to bring to life
Throwing away all the locks and keys

I am twenty years old
I have never been in love
I have had my fair attractions
As for true love I have not
I imagine her though
Beautiful too me
I'm not quite sure her name though
Nor have I ever seen her before yet she welcomes me in my dreams
I think if I were to be in love
I'd like to be at the start
The start of something new
Something so pure
As pure as the bright blue sky
With the sun shining bright
Yeah I think that's love
Waking up next to her and seeing something like the sun
Don't get me wrong there are cloudy days
There will be raging storms
I guess in the end I'd like to be at the start
The start of a sunny day
I guess I'd like to be in love

I was sitting across from an old man
He laughed leisurely and spoke great
He must’ve seen me staring at her
For he said “Young man, right now you think you have all the time in the world, but in reality you’re almost dead, so run fast.”

She was leaving the train in such haste and grace. She wore a golden romper and her hair flowed like silk caught in the breeze.

I left my backpack and sprinted, slid down the railing! The stairs would’ve only slowed my racing heart, as I hit the pavement lost in the crowds of a big Apple city. Left and right, where could she have disappeared in the daylight, for she radiates moonlight.

I finally caught a glimpse of her, and for a moment time seemed to stand still and she caught the glint of my golden eyes. As the seconds passed we never broke eye contact, but in the faint distance a man seemed to approach and he kissed an angel. It seems our love affair will be that of a long lost gaze.

Our generation
Seems to be losing sight
Just in one eye though
I guess that's just what love blindness is
Accepting that love isn't really what we thought it'd be
Who knows though
It seems our other pupil still dilates with the idea of love after all

I'm feeling weak, trying to stop this pendulum in my head
Back and forth, now I'm feeling guilty
Running to you, when all fears have fled
Finding out you were the one who'd never flee

I keep finding myself nervously rehearsing for when you're around
Watching your soul grow beyond these bounds
We were never lost, we just chose never to go home
Cause' my dear, you know when they say 'When in rome.'

We're drawn to violent natures
Your love laces tied me tight and showed me what the hell our souls were born to do
Lost in our love behaviors
I'm stumblin' and just sometimes getting it wrong, at least I'm lost in you

I have lovely days
When I’m with you
The way you move
Makes my mind stray
It’s everything you do
Like the way you say my name
I have lovely nights
When I’m with you
And when the morning comes
When we’re dancing free
I’ll have lovely days
If I’m with you

It’s really hard wanting to go home
When she’s just so far away
Take this fainted heart
Take these tainted hands
Wash me in your love
Come like grace again
For love’s not hopeless

Western coast overcast
With the waves lapping at my toes
Truth is I think of writing all the time
Yet, I’m unable to fill blank pages
With salt filled air and words alike
For this over-freeze is affecting me
And I am just not feeling the wind
In the sway and flow of the trees
And my brain is diseased
And I’m feeling low
Oh, I’m feeling low

The delectable fires between every word
As she cut through me
Was so filled with ecstasy
That I found myself lost
As she was packing her last bag
Forgetting to tell me to go to hell
What she didn’t know was
I found myself there a long time ago
Who would’ve guessed
Lucifer was a girl that I liked

I was driving home
And saw a sole tree
Alone in a field
Apathetic learnings
So, deserving of all of this love
Ever disconnected to all of your lives
Is there even a single kindness
That we can plunge into the soil
Or shall we just fall on our axes
Lost behind fading lights
When hands begin to tremble
With heavy eyelids
And oncoming traffic
